M Men with organ-confined disease or M Nnern without prostate cancer. Erh hte Of an AND-protease cleavage lead reduced, TH-302 and the loss of neutral endopeptidase 24.11, an enzyme involved in cell surface disabling the AND 1, the progression of cancer cells implicated in prostate androgen-independent Ngigen state. In cancer cell lines exogenous ET 1 was shown to induce the proliferation and the mitogenic effect was improved by the addition of other growth factors, suggesting that the ET 1 may synergistically rdern f with other growth factors to the progress of prostate cancer. The effects of ET 1 were inhibited by a selective antagonist of ETA, but not by an ETB antagonist. Studies have shown that ET 1 and ET in mediating nociceptive effects and Osteoblastenaktivit t k may be involved in prostate cancer.
Studies have shown that ET 1 stimulates mitogenesis in osteoblasts and inhibits bone resorption mediated by osteoclasts and osteoclast motility t. AND 1 levels are at M Nnern with prostate cancer who have elevated osteoblastic metastases, and studies of cell culture and xenograft have shown that ET has entered produces a ABT-751 prostate cancer Born erh Hte osteoblast activity T and inhibit osteoclast function. This effect has been reduced by an ETA-selective antagonist. Clinical trials of an orally active and selective antagonist of the ETA, atrasentan has shown benefit in PSA progression, markers of bone metabolism and pain at M Nnern with prostate cancer, detected but not n ‘, a significant improvement in survival time or time to tumor progression.
ZD4054 is a non-peptide, orally bioavailable, specific inhibitor of the ETA receptor. In erythroleuk Endemic mouse cells shows a strong affinity to t to ETA, without measurable affinity t for ETB. In a controlled study The placebo-controlled randomized Lee with the healthy male pattern subjects, the administration of a single oral dose of ZD4054 entered Born a reduction of the vasoconstrictor effects of ET 1 in the brachial artery. This effect was mediated by specific inhibition of ETA, ETB, and observed no effect on signaling. Shelman et al. Page 2 Invest new drugs.

Patients and Methods Patient Selection Eligible patients had histologically or cytologically best Metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate and preferential signs of disease progression. All patients must have evidence of castration-resistant disease as a serum testosterone level of 50 ng / dl. Patients who respond to an LHRH agonist or androgen-Bek were Attenuation were ben CONFIRMS to continue for the duration of the study. Patients who had stopped to wait the fight against androgen excluded, at least six weeks prior to enrollment in response to the fight against androgen deprivation is. Other Einschlu criteria: aged 18, following World Health Organization performance status of 0 to 1, adequate liver function, and alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase 3 x ULN institutional, adequate renal function as defined by a calculated creatinine clearance 60 ml / min and a life expectancy of less lea
